The bot serves a very important purpose. It teaches users about the block function. I really tried to tolerate it, but it’s just like those pinned automod comments on reddit.

I had never heard of this before. I do generally avoid contact with wildlife, though.

Decoupling dinner can also be helpful. Sometimes my partner just wants to snack/graze instead of having a whole meal. We call that a “fend for yourself” dinner.

“Do you have a preference for dinner or do you want me to handle it?” is like a magic question. It’s so much less pressure than “what do you want for dinner” and potentially turns it into a one person decision. If they say no preference, I’ll follow up with “I’m going to cook ____, does that sound alright?”

It’s good, but I didn’t think it was worth fighting wars over.

Reading through the comments on the original post, this sounds like a nightmare for everyone involved. Someone suggested that this just levels the playing field by using automation to get past automation and will in theory force companies to review manually, but what company is going to see 1000 to 10,000 applications to a single job in a day and think, “Wow, my automated application reviewer isn’t up to this task. Time to look at these all one by one!”? No, they’re going to be glad they have an automaton tool and double down on using it.

To answer your original question, I don’t know how real it is or if any of those fifty interviews are for positions the candidate is well suited for. I’m just glad I’m not a recent/upcoming graduate trying to get my foot in the industry’s metaphorical door.

It looks like you want an AI summary of what users thought about your comment, is that right? Here you go!

unique breathing mechanic, where you have to press a button to inhale and release the button to exhale

I get that a satirical game about the pandemic probably just isn’t my cup of tea, but this breathing mechanic sounds like such unnecessary tedium.

While the “full-blown timeline” for the vaccine being approved “might be many years away” the visible impact could be sooner.

Professor Ahmed added that, through clinical trials, he would hope to start seeing the vaccine’s impact “in four or five years on the healthy population”.

This is really exciting. I wonder if vaccines could be developed for other cancers using a similar technique?

I somehow missed that people were hoarding tp again. Imagine my surprise yesterday when I went to buy some and found nearly the entire aisle bare. Luckily there was plenty of the store brand, so I guess people were panick buying but not panicked enough to consider a different brand.

Open EVSE is the only open source charger I’ve heard about, but I haven’t used their products before.

Good thing Biden isn’t running anymore.

NFIP insurance is pretty limited, I think $250k structure and $100k contents. It also doesn’t cover things like additional living expenses, which would include a hotel while you’re displaced. It’s also often your only choice, though. It’s something that every home owner needs to consider for themselves based on the flood risk of their area.

The article says they’re “hair sheep” which shed and are often raised for their meat.

That was already done over fifty years ago through the national flood insurance program, NFIP.

PSA: If you are in a flood prone area, your lender may require you to purchase flood insurance. But did you know that some communities will argue against changes to the flood maps that would show them as being in a flood prone area? This means you may be at a higher risk for flooding than the federal maps would suggest. You can still buy flood insurance through the NFIP, though.

Here’s a “myths and facts about flood insurance” page from FEMA: https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20230425/fact-sheet-myths-and-facts-about-flood-insurance

I use the Fox Replace extension to replace all instances of slam with criticize. It’s great.

Isn’t paraphrasing/summarizing the top result a pretty good use case for LLMs? If I search “what temperature should I bake cupcakes at?” I really just want a simple answer, not dozens of links to life story style recipe blogs.

DDG didn’t provide a summary, but Google did (and it was very long). I assumed the answer was 350F, but the summary suggested 325-375. Lower for flatter cupcakes, higher for more domed. Interesting.

This type of summary wouldn’t be nearly as helpful for a technical programming question, but I doubt that describes the bulk of search queries.

The fact that users wanting a “feature complete” product at launch is seemingly news to them is absurd.

The weird grammar and punctuation is usually part of the shtick.

The video also looks like he’s making an M sound (closed lips) than an N sound (open lips). Grammatically, I also don’t think including “Haitian” makes sense if the next word is a slur.

I’m all for calling out the actual content on the conversation as the absolute nonsense that it is, but this specific headline seems like a bit of a reach.
